A short checklist you can actually use
Before you leave home
- Bring a photo ID and your insurance card if you plan to use insurance.
- Bring any referral, surgical instructions or relevant records you were asked to carry.
- Wear clothing that makes it practical to look at and move the area being evaluated.
During the evaluation
- Be ready to describe what brought you in and what activities matter to you.
- The evaluation may look at movement, strength, balance or a task connected to your concern.
- Ask questions about the plan, frequency, home guidance and what happens next.
Before you leave
- Confirm the clinic's next step and any follow-up appointment.
- Make sure you know how to contact the clinic if a scheduling or insurance question comes up.
Request → reply → confirmation
What happens after you ask for a time
A website request does not confirm an appointment. The clinic replies manually and agrees the time with you.
- 01
Open and send your email
Share your name, email, cell phone, your preferred clinic and when you are generally free. The form opens a draft in your own email app. Review it and send it from your mail app yourself; the website does not send it. Please leave out symptoms, diagnoses and insurance details.
- 02
We contact you
We will contact you by the next business day, by phone, text or email, whichever you prefer.
- 03
The clinic confirms it
Your appointment is confirmed only after the clinic responds and agrees a time with you.
